Diamonds are graded using a system that judges the stone on its color, clarity, cut and carat weight - commonly known as the "four C's." In this section, you will learn what each of the C’s means.

Cut

There are many shapes and sizes of diamonds. But whatever the shape or size, the Cut is a technical feature which can vary in quality and which is unique to each stone. The better the quality of the Cut, the better the stone will create brilliance and fire and that helps determine the value of each stone.
